I started crocheting as a child, my Dad taught me. I was never very serious
about it. I got back into it in my early 20's. I had just
bought a house, couldn’t afford to go out and needed something to occupy
my evenings. I started getting requests for items I had made and, in an
effort to make ends meet when the interest rates went sky high, decided to
make items to sell.
I hadn’t even considered there would be a market for the patterns until I
started getting requests for them. I was always good at just "making
things up as I went along" and never thought of it as designing until
I discovered the wonderful world of crochet online. I met a group of
lovely ladies who encouraged me to write down my designs and sell them.
My first pattern, the Rainbow Afghan, was a success and still remains my best seller.
Although I usually design items for children, I have discovered the wonderful world of thread
and tried my hand at designing jewellery.
I also experimented with working directly into fabric to produce clothing.
More recently, I
have been designing Lacy Lingerie in sizes up to a UK 22.
Of course, yarn is always my favourite and there are now a whole load of bright and cheerful puppet patterns to choose from.
As well as some
brand new garden sized games!
